Chave Hermitage 1976
Tasting Note
'The 1976 L’Hermitage from Domaine J-L Chave comes from an era when conversely, the estate was not quite firing on all cylinders, as it did in decades before and after. It has a distinct chlorine-tinged bouquet, quite intense and becoming more floral, a touch of singed leather emerging with time. The palate has adequate, quite sweet plummy fruit, a bit soft around the edges with a melted quality on the finish. I suspect bottles should be consumed in the near future. Drink soon.'
